Targeted memory reactivation elicits temporally compressed reactivation linked to spindles

This study investigates memory reactivation during sleep using targeted memory reactivation, finding faster reactivation and an inverted-U relationship between encoding strength and memory improvement.

Distributed and gradual microstructure changes track the emergence of behavioural benefit from memory reactivation

This study tracks microstructural changes following memory reactivation during sleep and links them to the emergence of behavioural benefits over time.

Cueing motor memory reactivation during NREM sleep engenders learning-related changes in precuneus and sensorimotor structures

This study shows that reactivating motor memory during sleep increases precuneus activation and predicts long-term benefits, while also causing structural and functional changes in sensorimotor cortex.

Targeted memory reactivation of a serial reaction time task in SWS, but not REM, preferentially benefits the non-dominant hand

This study shows that targeted memory reactivation during slow-wave sleep improves performance in a serial reaction time task, particularly for the non-dominant hand, while REM sleep does not provide similar benefits.
